    Rockets Red
    Championship Gold
    Victory White

    Those colors should never change for the Rockets. Period.

    It is time to "Run It Back" to wearing the classic uniform every game.

    Can't even give them matching warm-ups :rolleyes:;)
    Classic on top
    Current on bottom

    Anyways, they're gonna wear them for 7? more games and then they'll go collect dust again.
    Maybe see 'em in 5 years for the 30th anniversary? 15 years for the 40th? 25 years for the 50th?

    They don't need the Spongebob meme font :D (HOUStON, HoUsToN, hOuStOn, ROCKetS, RoCkEtS, rOcKeTs) but they can do a 'current' version.

    Sorta summnlike...

    We need a new logo. That Rockets R was from the Yao/China era. That relationship is over, so let’s move on.

    But it did
    And we did it right after winning two titles
    Because the new owner from New York wanted to make more money selling jerseys
    The problem is that he didn’t care about tradition
    He only made uniform changes based on money
    That’s why we turned red again when we got Yao

    les Alexander took our tradition and our trophies and our Houston pride because he made everything about this team be about pandering to China

    and he was cheap too , newbs don’t know much they just don’t do any research

    Still a terrible design which was a straight copy of the quake 3 symbol

    Unfortunately it had to be penny pinching Fertitta that brought them back. He's streamlining our payroll like he does his Bubba Gump buss boys

    No other unis should exist but the classic championship unis.

    It's a tragic travesty of epic proportions what has happened since those historic times.

    Yes. Keep that design. Maybe try out a “gold” (mustard) color variant with that championship design for extra variety. I’m over the black uniforms.

    No matching warm up bottoms is tacky as hell. Fertitta cutting costs everywhere.

    Any leaks on the City Edition coming out Nov. 20?

    The IG gives strong NASA vibe/hints.

    I would like to see one where an alligator in Florida is about to eat a old man from New York City with three billion dollars

    Those uni’s looked great no doubt (esp for us old guys who actually watched the championship years In real time). Reminds me I’ve got a Dream jersey from 94’ somewhere and miraculously could still fit in it, but frankly don’t know where it’s buried in storage

    The classic jerseys are clean and sharp we shouldn’t stray to far away from that base when we update our jerseys; we should operate like the lakers, Celtics, bulls, Knicks and keep the classics but add subtle changes every year just to keep them current

    @tinman the classic uniforms looked amazing, but can you tell me what features of them are representative of Houston as a city, as you seem to continually claim?

    This was the uniforms worn by Hakeem Olajuwon
    And the original clutch city rockets who gave Houston their first true championships in major sports
    This was the logo of the team since 1973
    And then after we won two titles

    the New York owner who only cared amount money wanted to sell more jerseys and then our history was robbed

    when you go to a rockets game and they the anthem is playing
    Rockets red glare
    People in Houston cheer

    Les Alexander should be thrown in jail for stealing our history
